I'd appreciate advice on the performance of these board bags in terms of durability, effectiveness in protecting the board and suitability for car and air travel.

took one to maui it lasted the one trip, ripped seams but lasted the trip

I use one for car travel and it does the job well. I recommend electric taping down the extra straps as they will fly around when traveling on a roof rack. Air travel wise...not sure it would do well

I've had one for about 10 years ?, its still in reasonable condition and done some fairly hard work for a bag.
Its done one o/s trip the removable wheels where really handy. (haven't had the need for the wheels since). Padding was thick enough to have the board do a return flight without damage.
The zips have never given up unlike many other bags I have owned.
The adjustable length is good when you change boards, currently its used with a JPSS127 75 wide.
Having said that the straps are also its weak point, not in strength but rather just a pain in the back side, to have the extra straps and buckles flying around and banging on the roof of the car when on roof racks. I have also done as the KevinD002 did with tape and zip ties to keep the excess straps at bay which is a fair trade off for versatility.

Yep same comment, I have to run another tie down around the bag to stop the buckles banging on the roof of the car.

Selling a bit of gear now and then including gear bags.
Have seen/sold a few of the Aerotech bags.
The quality is good. Great that it has side walls so sizing is easy.
Well priced. to
Being a sailmaker/repairer i usually can pick up on SH...T products and this is not one of them.

Thanks for the feed back and tips. The shop owner is selling them for $120, so it looks like a good deal.

If these are the same as Epic Gear bags which I think they are the one I had was great.

Epic is a part of aerotech I believe.
